Cane Toad

Copyright © Lewis Scharpf

Rhinella marina
National Butterfly Center
Mission, Texas
Also known as the giant neotropical toad or marine toad
Length can be as great as 8-9 inches.
The toad is now considered a pest and an invasive species
including the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas.
Of particular concern is its toxic skin which kills many animals
both wild and domesticated. Cane toads are particularly dangerous to dogs.

I have never seen one of these and hope they never make it up this way! I would love to see one though. Love the lighting. How big would you say this one is?
